What students say

Alethia is a fantastic Pilates instructor who truly understands the needs of the 50-plus age group. Her classes are fun, enthusiastic, and incredibly welcoming, making everyone feel comfortable and confident from the moment they arrive. She offers a great variety of exercises in every session, keeping things interesting while focusing on strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility. Alethea has a real talent for adapting movements so they're effective yet safe, and her positive energy makes each class enjoyable and motivating. I always leave feeling stronger, more flexible, and in great spirits.
Chrissy Visser · Pilates student
I'm fairly new to Alethia's classes, but they have already had a huge impact. Her sessions are not only good for the body, but are fun. We work hard (at a level that somehow suits each individual), but there's always a lot of laughter. Everyone is made to feel welcome at each and every session. Thank you for creating such a nurturing and inclusive environment.
Lenny Hyde · Student
There is never a dull moment in Alethia's classes which cater for all ages. She has created an extremely varied programme which makes Pilates fun - something I didn't think was possible!
